  1. Osric of Northumbria

    Osric was king of Northumbria from the death of Coenred of Northumbria Coenred in 718 until his death on the 9th of May, 729. Symeon of Durham calls him a son of Aldfrith of Northumbria , which would make him a brother, or perhaps a half brother, of Osred I of Northumbria Osred . Alternatively, he may have been a son of King Eahlfrith of Deira , and thus a first cousin of Osred. Bede reports little of Osric s reign, but records that comets were seen at his death, a sign of ill omen. William of Malmesbury praises Osric for his decision to adopt Ceolwulf of Northumbria Ceolwulf , brother of Coenred, as his heir. Further reading Higham, N.J., The Kingdom of Northumbria AD 350 1100.

  1. Coenred of Northumbria

    Coenred or Cenred was king of Northumbria from 716 to 718. John of Fordun claims that he murdered his predecessor Osred I of Northumbria Osred . He was described as a member of the Leodwaldings , a kindred descended from Ocg son of Ida of Bernicia , and was the first of the family to rule Northumbria . The Annals of Ulster record the death of the son of Cuidine Cuthwine , king of the Saxons, in 718, and this almost certainly refers to Coenred. William of Malmesbury calls him a draught from the same cup as Osred, which is to say a young man, vigorous, dissolute, cruel and bold. The manner of his death is unknown. He was succeeded by Osric of Northumbria Osric , brother, or half brother, of Osred. Coenred s brother Ceolwulf of Northumbria Ceolwulf became king after Osric.

  1. Rędwulf of Northumbria

    R dwulf was king of Northumbria for a short time. His descent is not known, but it is possible that he was a kinsman of Osberht of Northumbria Osberht and lla of Northumbria lla . R dwulf became king when thelred II of Northumbria thelred son of Eanred of Northumbria Eanred was deposed. Coins from his reign are known, but other than the report in the Roger of Wendover s Flores Historiarum of his death fighting pagans i.e. Vikings , nothing more is recorded of him. Roger of Wendover dates this reign to 844, but his dates are known to be unreliable. The recent discovery of a coin of King Eanred, dated on stylistic grounds to circa 850, led to a reappraisal of the reigns of Northumbrian rulers in the 9th century. As a result, R dwulf s reign is now thought to have been circa 858 rather than 844. The numismatic and written evidence agrees that thelred was restored to the kingship after R dwulf s death.

  1. Osbald of Northumbria

    Osbald was a king of Northumbria during 796. He was a friend of Alcuin , a monk from York who often sent him letters of advice. Osbald was a violent man and most likely a murderer as modern records suggest. On 9 January AD 780, he killed Bearn, the son of King lfwald I of Northumbria lfwald by burning him to death at Selectune possibly Silton, North Yorkshire . ref CathEncy wstitle Osbald ref In 793 Alcuin wrote two letters to Osbald urging him to give up his extravagant way of life. He criticised his greedy behaviour, luxurious dress and his pagan hair style. He warned him to devote himself to God because Luxury in princes means poverty for the people . Osbald became king of Northumbria in 796 at a time when it was dissolving into anarchy. He ruled for 27 days before being abandoned by the royal household and deserted by the people. He went into exile in Lindisfarne . Here Alcuin wrote Osbald a letter urging him to become a monk. After Osbald s refusal Alcuin sent another letter. It read My dear friend Osbald I am disappointed in you for not taking my advice. I urged you in my letter that you should give up this way of life. Do not add sin to sin by ruining your country and shedding blood. Think how much blood of kings, princes, and people has been shed through you and your family. Shortly afterwards, Osbald sailed to Picts Pictland with his companions, where he was given refuge by Caustant n of the Picts Caustant n , King of the Picts .
